There is a sixth activity this week: Find that motor of your dreams using state of the art comparison software, in-depth reviews and easy finance in that most obvious of places that everyone checks - yes, a swingers web-site. Eat your heart out Autotrader, your days are numbered. Swinging is to car sales what Uber is to taxicabs.
